Former Vice President of Ghana and 2024 NPP flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia
Former Vice President and NPP presidential candidate for the 2024 elections, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has cautioned the party members against attacking and speaking ill of one another, especially during their internal elections.
Dr Bawumia, who is currently on a “Thank You Tour” in Takoradi, Western Region, recalled how the NPP gave its opponents, particularly the National Democratic Congress, arsenals through their vitriolic utterances against themselves.
He believed one of the major things that contributed to the NPP’s defeat in the elections was the disparaging comments they made against one another during their internal elections.
Dr Bawumia noted it was their own words that the NDC played back against them to win the 2024 general elections.
In view of this, he urged the party to be united as they aim to return to power in 2028.
“Unity is key in every group endeavour but for the 2024 elections, we faced the internal issues.”
“Some of our own members attacked the party and government publicly and our opponents, the NDC, played back these words by our own members against us through series of adverts in the media.”
“They used the words against us and if the attack is coming from your own members, you can imagine the effect.”
